Source hierarchy
We prioritize enacted statutes, Treasury and IRS materials, Social Security Administration releases, and official Energy Information Administration data. Draft and proposed materials are labeled and are not presented as final law.
Secondary explainers may help us test readability, but they do not override primary authority or become the source of a tax constant.
Dates, status, and scope
Material constants carry a tax year or effective period, a verification date, and a status such as final, proposed, or draft. Pages display the review date so readers can judge freshness.
We avoid turning an information-reporting threshold into a tax-free threshold, an average into a guarantee, or a simplified planning rate into a state return calculation.
Corrections
Confirmed material errors are corrected promptly in the calculator and the explanatory copy. We update the verification evidence and add regression tests when an error affects code.
Minor wording and accessibility improvements may be published without a formal correction note when they do not change meaning or results.
Independence and conflicts
GigTakeHome is not affiliated with the delivery and rideshare platforms named on the site. Platform-specific pages use distinct defaults and explanations but never imply endorsement.
Sponsored placement, if introduced in the future, must be clearly labeled and cannot determine a tax conclusion or official-source selection.
